Went to the Dr to get my kidneys checked and just all my routine blood work. Just moved so this a new Dr I've never been to. Get in after waiting 30 min, start telling him I want my kidneys checked because I'm having slight pain. He asks a few questions about urine color. Then says it's probably an std. I say no it's not, I haven't had sex since January and used a condom. He goes you're high risk behavior you probably got something. I said excuse me, how is 1 person in 15 months with a condom high risk. He said it means you've had multiple partners over the years you're high risk. I said that is absolutely absurd I'm not here about that anyhow. I want my lipids, my test, my e2 checked along with the gfr for kidneys. He said why. I said it's routine for me and my trt. He goes what's trt? I said testosterone replacement therapy. Oh that's what the kids call it these days. He said what are you doing? 2 injections a week of 75 to 100mg test cyp. That puts my test around 1000. He said you are way overdoing it and 2 shots is stupid. 1 shot every 2 weeks of 175 is the proper way. I said maybe if you want to feel like shit for a week and have your blood levels up and down. He said that's not how it works. I said that's exactly how it works. Test cyp has a roughly 10 day half life and start diminishing potency after a round day 2. By day 7 it's further down. And you're saying you want once every 14 days. That absolutely will cause a big decrease in blood levels and an e2 spike. Maybe once a week, but every 2 just doesnt even make any sense mathmatically even. He goes all you guys think you know everything I'm the Dr. I said you're clearly not up to modern times on this, you spent maybe 15 min dealing with hormones 40 years ago I think you need to start looking into it more instead of just acting like a know it all. He storms out of room. Assistant comes in tells me to go to lab. Get bloods done. Go back. He says I told you you were doing way too much. Your test is 1100. High is 800. If you go over 800 you'll have roid rage. I started laughing. He said the last guy that had test as high as you beat up a cop and bit his finger off. I went and that was because oftestosterone? He said yes. You need to stop this nonsense you don't know what you're doing. I said I actually do, now what were my e2 levels? We didn't test those. I said what I told you to. We don't just test for that here. I said I don't care what you usually do I said twice I wanted that checked. He goes I'm not arguing with you I'll refer you to an endocrinologist to fix this. I said there's nothing to fix, it's routine blood work for my own records. I know more what to do about any of this then you do apparently and I can't believe you would completely disregard a test a patient asked for. Now what about my kidneys? We didn't test for that either, we did an std screening. I went what the fuck is your deal. You listened to nothing I said and have disregarded all my information to do what you wanted which is not how this works. I'm finding a new Dr. And I left. This shit is beyond frustrating. Just wanted to vent guys. Haha
